Cladding bricks for the fireplace - is it a good idea? Can you think of anything cozier than having a fireplace in your living room? This one item can add plenty of warmth and character to your interiors and create a fabulous spot where you will be able to rest after a long day. It’s incredibly practical during colder months when the temperature outside slides to lower levels. Of course, with the right finish, a fireplace can become not only functional but a trendy addition too. To bring the best out of it, you may want to go for a highly durable brick cladding system.

Cladding bricks have been a widely popular product in the construction business for decades now. Today, homeowners reach for this material to decorate both the insides and outsides of their houses. And for a good reason! Bricks continue to be one of the most versatile and durable materials you can pick. They’re resistant to a range of adverse conditions such as rain, wind, hail, snow and UV exposure. Another benefit is the fact they don’t require much work when it comes to their upkeep or cleaning. On top of all that, cladding bricks are fireproof too, which means they will work particularly well in areas such as fireplaces. Of course, be sure to choose genuine cladding brick and not the artificial kind, which often is made out of flammable materials. It would be the last thing you want to have around your fireplace! Choose the optimal brick cladding effect It’s worth noting that a brick cladding system will be the perfect choice for a fireplace for yet another reason - the sheer number of decorating options it gives you. After all, bricks come in various colours, textures, finishes and even sizes, so it should be easy to find an ideal version for your design. Reclaimed bricks, or those deliberately aged, are among the most-loved options as they provide a cosy yet slightly eclectic look and can go with almost any interior style. Rustic, minimalistic, romantic, Mediterranean, industrial - you name it! Meanwhile, newer pieces will give a more uniform feel to the space and make it look more polished and cleaner. The colour of the brick cladding will play a huge role as well. The richer it is, the stronger statement you will make. If you don't find the one you love, you may want to grab a bucket of paint and change it yourself! Oh, and darker shades around the fireplace will be easier to keep clean too. Mix and match to get the best results Don't forget that you can have plenty of fun with the pattern of the brick cladding system too. You don’t have to simply stack them on top of each other - there are additional options. For example, you can go for a Herringbone pattern, in which individual pieces of bricks are laid at a 45-degree angle. Other popular designs include Basketweave, Spanish Bond, Boxed Basketweave or Combination Stack.
